=== /retro/ - What were BBSs like outside the West? I'm talking Japan, the USSR, etc. Japan had NEC PC-88s and 98s, what BBS software did they have?
samalex01 I never called any BBSes outside of the US and Canada back in the day, but I remember talking to lots of folks on Fidonet saying the decentralized manor of BBSes and Fidonet specifically made it a great way to communicate especially in communist countries. East Germany for example had a few lines out that people would use to get news and info about the world, as did some areas of USSR where the government heavily monitored the media outlets. BBSes back then could go under the radar on analog phone systems as all they needed was an outside phone line and a minute or two for data bursts.
Pristine-Mechanic That's awesome
velskapt Up here in Norway we used mostly PCBoard, wildcat and MBBS (Mike's Bulletin Board System, similar to RBBS(?)).
lucidphreak I called (from the states) into canada, UK, ireland, australia, france, germany and I think even some stuff in africa.. I was a phone phreak so access to stuff far away was not a big deal. There were some foreign language bbs's out there but believe it or not most were in english.. I dont recall dialing into any communist locations like russia so I cant speak for that. LOTS of stuff in germany though... I mostly saw stuff like PCBoard abroad, though some of them ran the "scene" bbs softwares of the day like forum, emulex, FCP, genesis, and especially Celerity.. Great memories!!!
SqualorTrawler There are still several up and running, and they sometimes run software I don't recognize at all.
dmine45 Asian BBSes are vastly different than the ones we're used to. And surprisingly there quite a few still out there. ===
